About PFLAG Alamance
PFLAG Alamance is a chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays serving the Elon, NC community with a mission to promote the well-being of LGBTQ persons and their families through support, education, and civil rights advocacy. Founded on the principle that dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity strengthens families and communities, PFLAG Alamance brings together parents who have recently learned their child is gay, LGBTQ individuals seeking family understanding, and straight allies committed to equality. The organization's foundation rests on three pillars: providing emotional support to help people cope in an often challenging society, offering education to enlighten the public about LGBTQ issues, and advocating for equal civil rights and dignity. What sets PFLAG Alamance apart is its deep commitment to confidentiality and respect for privacy—members explicitly agree never to disclose others' attendance at meetings, creating a truly safe sanctuary for vulnerable conversations. Operating within Alamance County for years, the chapter has become a trusted resource for families seeking connection and understanding. The organization recognizes that sexual orientation and gender identity issues affect entire families, and members—many of whom have personal experience—are dedicated to offering compassionate support in both group and individual settings. By maintaining visibility through newsletters, social media, and community engagement while protecting members' privacy, PFLAG Alamance balances the need for confidentiality with the desire to reach more families in Elon and throughout Alamance County who need to know they are not alone.
